Paris, May 15.—Instead of showing

postal employes in the city seems to
have diminished. The leaders of the
strike, however, still talk of unexpect

General Federation of Labor. On the
Other hand, the authorities, with the
endorsement of the chamber of depu

movement will collapse totally in a

have been perfected.

BRITISH PREMIER
FAVORSTHE BILL
Measure to Remove Roman
Catholic Disabilities.
OFFERED BY IRISH MEMBER
Repeats What Is Regarded as the Ofe*
jectionable Portion of the Oath of
Accession and Abolishes the Dis
qualification Barring Catholics From
Filling Certain High Positions in
•ngland and Ireland.
London, May 15.—A comprehensive
bill for the removal of Roman Cath
olic disabilities and providing for an
alteration in the accession oath taken
by the British sovereign was Intro
duced by William Redmond in the
house of commons and gave variety
to the customary dullness of the de
bate.
The Roman Catholics never have
ceased to inveigh against the "insult
ing references" to certain beliefs in
the monarch's accession declaration
as superstitious and Idolatrous. The
same opposition that hitherto has de
feated any effort to alter the oath
again showed up when a petition
signed by 400,000 persons against the
removal of Roman Catholic disabil
ities was handed in just before Mr.
HERBERT H. AGQUITH.
Redmond arose. Mr. Redmond's bill
not only repeals what is regarded as
th« objectionable portion of the oath
of accession, but it repeals the acts
prohibiting residence and the acquisi
tion of property by the Jesuits and
other monastic orders and abolishes
tho disqualification which prevents
Catholics from filling the offices of
lord chancellor of Great Britain and
lord lieutenant of Ireland..
Premier Asqulth spoke early in the
debate and gave his cordial support
to the objects of the bill. He declared
that the exclusion of Roman Catholics
from the lord chancellorship and the
lord lieutenancy was quite unjusti
fiable on the grounds of either logic
or policy. Regarding the oath of ac
cession the premier said that this
declaration was dated during the
worst period of British history. The
language therein could not be justi
fied and the time had come to put an
end to it. He suggested that if par
liament were opposed to the total
abolition of the declaration a commit
tee be appointed to devise a form of
words that would be mutually satis
factory.
The bill passed Its second reading
by a vote of 132 to 123, but as it is
not a government measure there is
little prospect of finding time to pass
it Into a law at the present session.
The fact that a majority of the house
Of commons voted in favor of the
measure, however, is regarded as a
great victory for the Catholics. Al
though similar bills have been de
bated on many previous occasions this
is the first time that one has passed
its second reading.
Bar Negroes From German t&rr.,.
Berlin, May 15.—The Prussian mili
tary authorities have decided to dis
continue the enlistment of negroes in
the army. This ruling applies chiefly
to the military bands, in several of
which there are African drummers
The explanation offered unofficially is
that the negroes in question have
adopted the vices and none of the vir
tues of German civilization.
Five Killed in Railroad Wreelt.
Straeburg, May 15.—A bad railroad
accident occurred at Horlisheim, near

to Cologne ran into a freight train
that had been derailed on account of
